LANDSCAPE SOLUTIONS
For an inside look at end-to-end software for running your landscape business, OPE + recently spoke with Eli Zevin, general manager at Aspire, a ServiceTitan company.
OPE +: Can you provide us with an overview of your product and its features, especially any recent updates? Zevin: Aspire is a business management platform built specifically for commercial landscaping, snow and ice management, and landscape construction companies. The platform covers the full operational lifecycle – estimating, scheduling, field execution, job costing, billing and reporting – all in a single system. That end-to-end design is intentional. When everything lives in one place, data flows automatically across the business rather than being manually reconciled between disconnected tools. Our most recent major investments have been in construction management, giving contractors better visibility and control over large installation projects alongside their recurring maintenance operations. We’ ve also continued building out our field documentation capabilities, including site audits that help operators capture proof of service, flag enhancement opportunities, and build a defensible record at every property. Both reflect the same underlying focus: giving landscape businesses the real-time financial and operational data they need to actually run a profitable company.
We’ re hyper-focused on making sure customers get value from the platform they’ ve already invested in. The depth of Aspire’ s functionality means there’ s a lot to unlock, and we’ re committed to being the kind of partner that helps operators get there.
OPE +: What are the benefits to landscape professionals of implementing an end-to-end software solution? Zevin: The core benefit is simple: you stop making decisions based on incomplete or stale information. When estimating, scheduling, field operations and financials all feed into a single system, what you see in your reports actually reflects what’ s happening in your business – not what happened three weeks ago after someone reconciled spreadsheets.
For landscapers that matters a lot. Margins in this industry, especially in maintenance, are tight enough that a route running 15 % over on labor for a few months can wipe out your profit on that contract before you even know there’ s a problem. With real-time job costing built into the workflow, you catch that in week two, not month eight.
The other thing I hear from operators is the cost of running too many systems. Our 2026 Commercial Landscape Industry Report
